In the lush highlands of Western Panama lies the small town of Boquete, one of the world’s top retirement destinations.
Boquete (pronounced boh-KEH-theh) is a nature lover’s paradise—a land of rainbows and white clouds that cling to the green hillsides… dense jungle, intriguing flora and fauna… an impressive (inactive) volcano, rivers for fishing and rafting, mountain trails, waterfalls, and the Volcán Barú National Park.
Here you can dine out in restaurants of every nationality…
Enjoy lively nightlife, massage studios, beauty salons, grocery stores, the flower market and festivals, and access to medical clinics…
This region also produces some of the best coffee on Earth, including the famous geisha bean.
In Boquete, you’re only around 30 minutes from David, Panama’s second-largest city, where you’ll find everything you’d expect to find in a large city back home.
We began telling readers that Boquete is one of the best places on Earth to enjoy a safe, sweet, and affordable retirement more than 20 years ago.
All that remains true and, unsurprisingly, our little highland escape has now become home to one of the biggest communities of foreign retirees in the world.
However, for all its many charms, there has long been something missing in Boquete…
Quality housing has been very hard to come by… and luxury housing has been almost non-existent.
Today, that’s changing.
One of Panama’s most prolific real estate developers, a good friend and long-term contact of mine, has turned their attention to this hidden haven.
The private community they’re developing here is in a prime location next to the Boquete Country Club and will have the feel of a high-end European, Alpine resort…
On your doorstep you’ll have a social area for meeting friends and neighbors… including restaurants, a reading and coffee room, terraces, a firepit area, pools, and lookout decks. Plans also call for an on-site medical center.
This cozy mountain resort is across from the equestrian center and health spa… and just 10 minutes from lively Boquete town.
Like I say, the lack of quality housing has long been a challenge in Boquete.
This new project will serve the demand for the booming eco-tourism market in Panama and, of course, all of the retirees flocking to Boquete.
Choose to rent your home here when you’re not around, and my contact tells me you’re looking at an easy rental income in the region of $29,000 a year.
We’ve waited years for a quality development project in Boquete.
Now it’s here.
Plus, thanks to my decades-long personal relationship with the developer, we have access to pre-launch pricing for condos in Phase II starting from just $210k.
We’re getting in early on these new units in Phase II… and we expect prices to rise quickly (as they did in Phase I).
You can secure your highland getaway here with just $5,000 down. Developer financing is also available.
Stay diversified,
